Chapter 1. Primary Care in the Twenty-First Century: A
Circle of Caring
• A nurse has conducted a literature review in an effort to identify the
effect of handwashing on theincidence of nosocomial (hospital-acquired)
infections in acute care settings. An article presented findings at a level of
significance of <0.01. This indicates that
• the control group and the experimental group were more than 99% similar.
• the findings of the study have less than 1% chance of being attributable to
chance.
• the effects of the intervention were nearly zero.
• the clinical significance of the findings was less than 1:100.
Ans: B
Feedback: The level of significance is the level at which the researcher
believes that the study resultsmost likely represent a nonchance event. A
level of significance of <0.01 indicates that there is less than 1% probability
that the result is due to chance.
• A nurse has read a qualitative research study in order to understand the
lived experience of parentswho have a neonatal loss. Which of the following
questions should the nurse prioritize when appraising the results of this study?
• How well did the authors capture the personal experiences of these parents?
• How well did the authors control for confounding variables that may have
affected the findings?
• Did the authors use statistical measures that were appropriate to the
phenomenon in question?
• Were the instruments that the researchers used statistically valid and reliable?

capture and convey the subjective experiences of individuals. Statistical
measures and variables are not dimensions of aqualitative methodology.
• A nurse has expressed skepticism to a colleague about the value of
nursing research, claiming thatnursing research has little relevance to
practice. How can the nurses colleague best defend the importance of
nursing research?
• The existence of nursing research means that nurses are now able to
access federal grant money,something that didnt use to be the case.
• Nursing research has allowed the development of masters and doctoral
programs and has greatlyincreased the credibility of the profession.
• The growth of nursing research has caused nursing to be viewed as a
true profession, rather thansimply as a trade or a skill.
• The application of nursing research has the potential to improve
nursing practice and patientoutcomes.
Ans: D
Feedback: The greatest value of nursing research lies in the potential to
improve practice and, ultimately, to improve patient outcomes. This
supersedes the contributions of nursing research toeducation programs,
grant funding, or the public view of the profession.
• Tracy is a nurse with a baccalaureate degree who works in the labor

research project that tests an intervention aimed at promoting breast-
feeding?
